Book of Habakkuk

This book was my daily reading. I found it amazing that even though this book was written so long ago (they place him in the last quarter of the 7th century) it still rings true today. Chapter 1:2 he says, “How long, O LORD? I cry for help but you do not listen! I cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not intervene.” Doesn’t that sound familiar? So many times something goes wrong in my life and I cry out to God, why? Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong? When are you going to fix it? It makes me feel a lot better to see that one of the Minor Prophets in the Bible felt the same way. I hate when I am whiny and especially to God. He’s been so good to me and so many times I return the favor by complaining. I always want things my way. I’m learning that things are not my will but His. But sometimes it is still hard to accept.
